House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said Tuesday that Democratic leaders would likely split the Afghanistan war spending bill and a domestic spending package so that Democrats can vote on each issue separately.

The Maryland Democrat, speaking to reporters in his Capitol office, said the split vote would “probably” be the procedure the leadership would take.

Before Hoyer’s announcement, House Minority Leader John Boehner on Tuesday cast further doubt on his party’s willingness to vote for a war bill that is also loaded with domestic spending, throwing into doubt the ability of the body to pass legislation before the weeklong July 4 recess.

“We’ve not seen the supplemental,” the Ohio Republican told reporters Tuesday in the lobby of the Republican National Committee’s Capitol Hill headquarters. “We’ve heard all kinds of rumors about how it might be considered, but we are not going to facilitate the passing of tens of billions of dollars of wasteful government spending on the backs of our kids.”
